Robinia hispida Linnaeus, Systema Naturae, ed. 12, 2: 490; Mantissa Plantarum: 101. 1767, nom. illeg.

"Habitat in Carolina, Carthagena." RCN: 5451.

Replaced synonym: Robinia sepium Jacq. (1760) .

Type not designated.

Current name: Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Steud. ( Fabaceae: Faboideae).

Note: An illegitimate replacement name for Robinia sepium Jacq. (1760), with which R. hispida is therefore homotypic. Clausen (in Gentes Herb. 4: 287. 1940) was therefore incorrect to treat 913.2 (LINN) as the type (illustrating it as t. 185). Lavin & Sousa S. (in Syst. Bot. Monogr. 45: 93, 106. 1995) recognise both Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Steud. and R. hispida L. as separate species.
